Engage your inner artist and get a glimpse of old world charm at the Nighttime Streetcar Safari, as you explore Ybor and downtown Tampa via trolley, with an expert from the Florida Museum of Photographic Arts to guide you in achieving the perfect night or low-light shot. Contact [email protected] to register. Wed., Sept. 2, 7 p.m., the class meets at the TECO streetcar line, in front of the Embassy Suites Hotel, 513 S.

The Publix Apron’s Cooking Class folks say about tonight's Lobster Lovers demonstration that “You’ll think you’re in Maine. Need we say more?” Nope. The menu includes: lobster salad with tarragon buttermilk dressing served in an herbed phyllo cup; West Street lobster and corn chowder; spiny lobster and mushroom gouda ragout served with Yukon yucca mash; and Down East blueberry buckle with crème fraiche ice cream. Weds., Sept. 2, 6:30 p.m., Publix, 7835 Gunn Highway, Tampa, $50, 813-926-4465.

Coffee with a Curator is a monthly in-depth discussion and tour with a Dalí expert and docent. Today, Bethany Mead leads a discussion on Dalí's Hispanic heritage, a subject that informs many of the surrealist's masterworks. Sip complimentary Starbucks coffee before beginning the theme-oriented tour of the gallery, which houses the largest collection of Dalí's works outside of Spain, including six of eighteen of his prized, large-scale masterworks. Weds., Sept. 2, 10:15 a.m., Salvador Dali Museum, 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, free with museum admission of $17, free for museum members or with USF ID.
